Ah man, I have bug fuck all to contribute to this conversation right now, but late last year I was thinking about running a Gravity Falls-themed minicomp around the same time the new season started. Who knows when that'll be, though.

I forgot how stupidly this show makes me laugh. And then on top of that it not only uses the Mars Attacks! method of invasion-stopping in episode one, but in the second episode Mark Hamill plays The Thing. This show is amazing.

Fan speculation has it that Old Man McGucket is the author -- and wouldn't you know it, his name is 8 letters.

I've got mixed feelings on that idea -- really I'd prefer that he just be exactly what he seems. But that's how I feel about Stan, too, and the ship's long since sailed on that one.

I think I read a rumor once where McGucket and the goat switched bodies once. Maybe the guy we know as McGucket is really the goat inhabiting his body? Or maybe the goat wrote the journals in McGucket's body then switched back. Makes you think.
